Gianrico Carofiglio “Temporary Perfections”

Gianrico Carofiglio knows a little bit about crime and justice — he’s been a prosecutor, an expert in organized crime, and is currently a member of the Italian Senate.

He is also an internationally-bestselling thriller writer, whose fourth book featuring defense attorney Guido Guerrieri is called “Temporary Perfections.”

But this book is a bit of a departure for Carofiglio. It’s less courtroom thriller than it is a detective story, as Guido is asked to do what he can to help find a missing young woman. It’s not his specialty, but for his own reasons he agrees, and stumbles into something much darker and more sinister than he had expected.
